She loved the Primary children of her stake as she served over eight years in the Stake Primary Presidency.

(Thank goodness I videotaped Mary for her children who never got to ~ 2-3 hrs' worth talking all about genealogy & her stories. She is a fav cousin now of mine, too, b/c she supplied me w/ all sorts of pic's, his's & video of my Mom & our ancestors. I cried in the SLC genealogical library the day she showed me. Mary is a descendant of Erastus Snow & owned the red velvet chairs he once sat in. Will miss you greatly, Mary!!).
